Decorating for Christmas on a budget Part2

Start out with a nice garland and just keep adding stuff...you can rarely overdo at Christmas time. Once again, I combined the plastic and glass ornaments.

I had a basket that normally has an arrangement of yellow flowers. I left the ivy in the basket and threw in some poinsettias, red hydrangeas, berries and greenery and attached a red bow.

Day 6
I just added red ribbon and gold glitter leaves to the candles that are normally on the breakfast table. The bowl that stays on the table normally is full of pine cones and other naturals. I added some glitter to the pine cones and then added some berries, Christmas balls and a little greenery.

Sometimes just adding a touch of greenery is all you need. I love using Christmas balls in place of candles on candlesticks.

Day 7
I added some really lightweight ornaments to the palm tree.

Christmas balls were stashed everywhere...

Decorating on a budget may require a little more imagination, but it's still fun.

Being forced to use your imagination is a good thing, because these decorations are beautiful! I love that you added a little pink and silver in the mix. It looks great.~Kimfrom Blogging Buddieshttp://2justByou.blogspot.com
